NC State saw their streak of winning eight or more games end for Dave Doeren in 2024, which forced him to make changes to his staff.

The Wolfpack will have new coordinators on both sides, and they lost most of their best players to the transfer portal.

The game will be on a Friday night in Raleigh, North Carolina, which has been a house of horrors for the Noles historically.

NC State returns a young talent at quarterback, but I don't think the players they took in the transfer portal can replace the level of talent they lost from last year's team.

Add that factor into NC State playing Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Georgia Tech, and Miami before hosting FSU. I'm bucking the trend and taking the Noles to finally win one in Raleigh.
